Spring Equinox and Super Moon
Amid all the man made and natural disasters on our planet earth … the rhythms of life continue. Tonight’s full moon is closer to earth … so it will appear bigger and brighter … definitely worth going outside to see … and is called a super moon. This immediately precedes the vernal equinox which happens tomorrow March 20th … and once again we welcome spring.
The essential nature of spring is “hope”. The crocus has sprouted and in a few spots … where there is no snow … has come into bloom. Although the trees are still bare the sap is beginning to flow and robins are arriving … a sure sign of spring !
I spent a lot of time outdoors today … mostly walking with Buddy … checking some of our favourite trails … watching snow melt and loving the sunshine. I also managed to photograph some of the paintings I have been creating during the snowbound days of winter.
Spring is synonymous with light … life … energy … hope … renewal. These same adjectives came to mind as I was taking photos of my acrylic pieces today … especially for two paintings … one figure painting with two rather ‘kooky’ characters heading towards the light … and an abstract full of warmth, light and energy. Here are photos of the two pieces … you are the first viewers. I welcome your comments.
Now I’m off to do some moon watching … happy Equinox to all !
